ONO REPUBLICANS.

The Ohio Republicans, in declaring
their platform, evidently give the coun-
try the keynote Of the partys campaign
for the Presidency in lSso.
1t favors protection and denounccs the
tariff reform cnunciatcd by the Demo
Gratis Of the State; but in this, as in all
its other alleged principles, the once
gram old party shows itself
behind the times, and counts on
appealing to popular feeling that has
been greatly changed in a few years.
While this ironclad protection IS TO be
perpetraied in the interest Of American
labor, the Ohio sheep is TO be especially
cared for though it involves compare
lively little labor and receives thus
the tribute Of millions Of laboring men
who are made topay twice as much Tor
woollen goods in order that the raw ma
terial may bring higher price in Ohio.
OF course the people have been gradually
learning what they ought to have known
all the time, viz That labor does not get
any more wages on account of high du-
ties on articles Of common use, and that
the real object in the interest of the
laborer should TO let him get from the
markets of the world the things he wants
for half the money
The dcrision with which Republican
platforms prate of Democrats "encourag
ing foreign importations' would be APP
plicablc TO any person who would prefer
to buy a coat for five dollars when he
could get it for ten
Let commerce pay its part towards the
revenue of the country, bat not so much
as TO create artificial prices for articles
that in other countries are bought at half
the rate
The Gree ballot and fair count plank
Of the platform is vanished with bogus
appeal TO the labor Of the North on the
ground That thc alleged deprivation oil
the rights Of the colorcd laborcr in the
South dcgrades the white laborer i'm the
North.
So here we have the two great ideas
upon which the Republican party pro-
poses to recapture the Presidcucy-pro-
tecliye tariff and Southern outragcs. One
was formed on the theory OF developing
the infant industries of q new country,
and motto the present Republican sham
Of protection of labor and Tire other was
the machine which was unanimously
chrislcncd thc Outrage mill' in honor Of
its distinguished inventor. John Sherman,
when It's most beautiful production, the
Danyillc massacre was proved p fraud
so completely Chat for a while the bloody
garment had TO DE folded and hid from
the ridiculc that greeted 10 everywhere.
The manly and patriotic sentiment for
the reconciliation of the sections will
save MS from The bloody shirt part of thc
platform, and thc Democracy is certainly
strong enough TO carry tariff reform upon
IFS merits.

There were two Sherman resolutions
before the Ohio Convention One de-
clared that I'VE respectfully present his
name to the people of the United States
as a candidate for the Presidency and an
nounce our hearty and cordial support of
him for that Office" The second, while
recognizing "the eminent services and
splendid career Of the Hon. John Sher-
man" pledges the united and enthusias-
tic support of the Republicans of Ohio To
the nominee of the next National Repub-
lican Convention
The first one was passed, and so Mr
Sherman's boom is endorsed, but the
State will not be likely to endorse him in

FINANCE AND MINING.
Pertinent Words on the

ORE AND BULLION OUTPUT.
Southern Extensions-Z c. NJ. l.
Stock-Mr. Goddess Yfews-Latest
from the Mines.

The week has been one of genera
quietness; no real estate transactions
of any Importance are quoted and few
transfers of local securities are re
corded.
The Deseret National Bank received
word by wire on Friday that Utah
Southern Extensions were selling at SSs
in New York.
q. c. NJ. 1. stock is held stiff at 500;
a small lot was offered at 500, and at
once taken; but there is little or none
flying around at that figure.
The Bankers Magazine, in very SEN
sible article on business and speculation,
has this to say of the western blooms: -
Another element is the wild specula-
ton in western lants Elsewhere we have
said something on this subject, but
through the papers we learn that in
some sections an extraordinary specula-
ton in corner lots and other lots has
begun. Prices have advanced in an
almost fabulous way, and this means
that the new holders, possessing more
hope than sense, have invested their
money unproductively, and from which
they will lose largely at no distant day.
As soon Us they learn their folly, or as
soon as they fail to get an income ade-
quate to the advance paid. they will
begin to suffer for their conduct, and
this element will also contribute to bring
about the state of things the people so
much dread.
This, as remarked in the beginning, is
rather gloomy reading, yet these are
matters which should be carefully pom
dered. If they were, men would have
less faith in some of the enterprises of
the day. What they have learned on
other occasions would be constantly
reviving in their memory. and would
have SOLDERING effect resulting in slower
action In new industrial enterprises and
investments. Thi. is precisely the kind
of a check that would restore the
country to a thoroughly sound and
healthful condition. 1t is better to grow
regularly than to grow tropicaliy. 1t
would be far better for all interests if
production went on from month to
month and year to year with some
degree of uniformitv. We seem to be
somewhat like drunken nah. If not
wholly intoxicated, partly so. Our i'm
dSluaIlou 10 ulSedseu, oui 1aIlu has Ue-
come irrational, and we are rushing
headlong into enterprises and expendi-
lures without much thought. of course,
every man is expected to get out in
time, yet nothing can be more certain
than that if those who are now in sue
coed in getting out, another class will
suffer, and the effect of their sufferings
on the country will be disastrous. Thus
oveI-speculation and excessive faith will
inevitably do their evil work, and the
only way to prevent this is to go more
slowly and more nationally at the
present time. To counsel such course
is, We believe, the part of wisdom.

Astonishing Success,

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syr,tp to let
Its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu
monia, and in fact, all throat and lung
diseases. No person can use it without
immediate relief. Three doses will
relieve any case, and we consider it the
duty of all Druggists to recommend it
to the poor, dying consumptive. atleast
to try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen bottles
were sold last year. and no one case
where it failed was reported. Such a
medicine as the German Syrup cannot be
too widely known. Ask your druggist
about it. Sample bottles to try, sold at
10 cents. Regular size, IS cents. Sold
by all Druggists and Dealers, in the
United States and Canada.
